#the babysitters club

[elainiisms]

warrior nun cancelled. first kill cancelled. paper girls cancelled. one day at a time cancelled. the owl house cancelled. im not okay with this cancelled. legacies cancelled. everything sucks cancelled. the babysitters club cancelled. dare me cancelled. i know what you did last summer cancelled. teenage bounty hunters cancelled. the wilds cancelled.

the attitude held towards sapphic media is clear and honestly just appalling. im so sick of this treatment we deserve better than this.

I'm honestly surprised there's never been a Netflix-specific strike. But I do think there's was a lawsuit that was settled or won, so there's that.

You are pining after an unrequited crush I am pining over my favourite canceled show. We are not the same

shows I love that end up getting cancelled after one, two, or three to four seasons at most is my curse at this point. and it all started when my babysitter's a vampire got cancelled on a cliffhanger back in 2012

They get a phone call.

Andrew shows his phone to Neil—Aaron. Answers it. “What’s up? You’re on speaker. Neil’s here.”

“Good,” Aaron says. “I’m pissed at both of you.”

Andrew looks at Neil, panicking.

“You fucking assholes,” Aaron rails, not waiting for them to answer, sending Andrew into a visible spiral. “My wife doesn’t speak German!” Oh. “Freddie’s speaking half in German and my wife doesn’t understand a fucking word he says, you jackasses, what did you do?”

“Gave you a bilingual baby,” Neil says, grinning. “Like Angela.”

“Both of Angela’s parents are bilingual! Katelyn is not!”

“Teach her,” Andrew suggests, trying to keep himself under control. “Bonding time.”

“We’re both doctors! We don’t want to spend our bonding time with me teaching her German, that’s fucking dumb bullshit. Jesus. Bilingual baby. Hey. You guys have five years.”

“For what?” Neil asks.

“If in five years I don’t have the smartest baby in the neighborhood, I’m fucking coming after you. This had better pay off.”

“I mean, in five years, his competition will just be John,” Neil points out. “There won’t be any other babies in our neighborhood.”

“And John is stupid,” Aaron says thoughtfully.

“Is he?” Neil asks. “I’m honestly curious, I don’t know how smart babies are supposed to be.”

“I’m sure he’s fine,” Aaron says dismissively. “But. Five years, fuckers. Don’t think I’ll forget.”

“I’ll be sure to remember,” Andrew says solemnly.

“I’ll hold you to it. You’ll have to babysit him more often, you’re the only people who have a shot at understanding him right now, he’s pulling the same bullshit as Angela.”

Neil grins at Andrew. Andrew relaxes. He hasn’t ruined his relationship with Aaron. “We can handle it, probably.”

“Fucking better be able to. Okay. I’m leaving. Gotta try to get some sleep before my rude-ass baby wakes me up.”

“Sleep well,” Andrew says, stilted.

It takes Aaron a second too long. “You too.”

Andrew hangs up, before Aaron can consider saying anything else.

“Emotionally constipated,” Neil says, grinning.

it does bum me out that netflix constantly cancels good shows. the baby-sitters club has a 100% on rotten tomatoes and was so fantastic! shadow and bone was #1 for WEEKS after season two came out! and we all know six of crows would have done even better!!!! anne with an e was beloved and had high ratings as well! it's exhausting falling in love with show after show only for it to inevitably be cancelled. i'm tired of this. there's a reason i almost only watch youtube these days.

honorable mentions: one day at a time, santa carla diet (which i never got around to watching because it was cancelled but heard amazing things), tuca and bertie, and first kill.

fandom criticism / racism is always loudest when the racebent character is a Black woman whose love interest is a white man. that seems to set those folks off like none other.

[smithsibsceo]

one of my fave tropes in st fanfic is when robin and steve jokingly bring up the russians and the torture and the drugs etc and everyone else is like what the actual fuck?? when the fuck were you tortured by russians?? and stobin's like 'you didnt know? losers' and then start sobbing uncontrollably because holy shit was that some repressed trauma

Disability Pride a month late

I was away for the summer so I didn’t get to do anything for disability pride month in July but you know what they say better late then never

Scootaloo (My Little Pony Friendship is Magic): Flightless Pegasus, she has a fictional disability but she’s one of my favorite characters so I’m including her. Also I can always go on a rant about how she should be disabled in Equestria Girls but isn’t

Stacey McGill (The Babysitter’s Club): Stacey is type one diabetic (also thank you to @/royalty_tries on instagram for suggesting her to me)

Norma Khan ( Dead End: Paranormal Park): Norma is Autistic, she’s also canonical Bisexual. She’s amazing rep for both communities

Frankie Stein (Monster High: Gen 3): Frankie has a prosthetic leg, idk if they are considered a Amputeee because I’m not too familiar they’re character. Frankie is also canonical queer being non-binary and using they/them pronouns (Thank you to @/swifts_heart on Instagram for suggesting them)

Murphy McNully (Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery) McNully is a wheelchair users and the Qudditch announcer in Hogwarts Mystery. Along side Orion Amari and Skye Parkin is part of the Qudditch side quests and his house is the same as the player character

Rex (Paw Patrol): Rex doesn’t have use of his hind legs and uses a doggy wheelchair. I’m not too familiar with Rex, he’s the dino dog (it’s weird but he’s rep for a little kids show)
